@AstridNovak class was comparing the Sun, Earth, and Moon using a triple Venn Diagram. The students were building this large example together while also completing it in their notebooks. Triple Venn Diagrams are a tough concept for our students, but Mrs. Novak made it memorable!

When you sign up to teach, it normally comes without much recognition. It's nice when a coworker sees your dedication & rewards you with the #FearlessFalconAward. Thanks, @LorynScoggin, love ya! @FranconeElem #falconssoar #teachertwitter
